Meet the Team – BuildMac
Dedicated - Precise - Efficient
Who We Are
In 2013, after a decade in the building industry gaining qualifications and perfecting his craft, Jarrod Macredie decided it was time to build something of his own, so the next step was taken and Build Mac Ltd was born. Ten plus years on and Build Mac is a thriving Hawke’s Bay company, Licensed Building Practitioners, utilising a wealth of knowledge within their highly skilled team.
Jarrod, with his wife Melanie, an entrepreneur and IT Specialist, have assembled an amazing workforce that share in their unshakable drive to create wonderful family homes for Hawke’s Bay families. This has grown to encompass all types of construction from commercial builds through to renovations, decks and more, making Build Mac one of Hawke’s Bay’s leading building companies.
At BuildMac, we’re a hands-on team of builders and problem-solvers who take pride in doing the job properly the first time. We’re based in Hawke’s Bay and work across residential renovations, repairs and new builds — helping homeowners keep their properties in top condition and creating your forever home
